Bring Back the Beautiful Covers

Thanks for your excellent magazine. I would like to share with you a disappointment, however.

In the past I enjoyed displaying my copies of BAR on my coffee table because the beautiful photos of artifacts added to the decor of my home. My husband was an Air Force pilot for 28 years, and through his extensive travels we have acquired many lovely items from around the world. Won’t you consider returning to the artifact covers?

How do you like the cover of this issue?—Ed.

Top Grade

For many years I have enjoyed and appreciated BAR as a high-quality periodical that far surpasses anything else in the field of Biblical history and archaeology. But the most recent issue (July/August 1997) has achieved an A+ in my grade book because of the splendid photography and the highly informative articles concerning the most recent discoveries in the Holy Land. Keep up your policies regarding diverse viewpoints. You do us all a great service.
